the probability is that there would
have been from a hundred to a hun
dred and fifty dollars spent in them
for liquor, and some Of the people
would have gone home noisy drunk;
but as it was, everybody vas sober,
made their purchases of needed ar

The amount of coal now being
sold at the coal mine is from ten to
twelve tons per day. And yet the
demand for it is five times as great
as the supply. We believe that at
this time the miners would sell fifty
and perhaps seventy-five tons per
day if they could get it out. The
number of hands employed in the
mine is gradually increasing as rap
idly as room is made for them. Six
teen miners are now at work, and
before Christmas at the present rate
of increase, there will be at least six
ty. This will mean sixty tons Of
coal per day, and during cold wealth
err there is no doubt that amount Of
coal will find a ready sale to resi-
dents of this county.-Ponca Journal.
